CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-(Special Telegram TO
the BEE. l-Interest among grain traders CEN
tered in corn today and as result the wheat
pit was quiet and the volume Of business
done there only moderate. The market was
strong, however, the entire session, attrib-
uted mainly TO better foreign advices and as
sisted somewhat by the sharp advance in
corn. Opening prices were &c lower than
the close yesterday and this was doubtless
due TO local influences, some uneasiness being
felt as TO the possibilities Of the day with ref
erence to the execution of the anarchists
This feeling seemed rather to decrease as the
day went on without exciting incident, al
though there was intense interest in the pro-
ceedings at the Jail and decided relief when
it was known that the execution was accom-
plished. December wheat opened at 73Ac
and May at 19c. These were the lowest fig
ures of the session, Receipts at primary
markets continue large. From the opening
prices December wheat advanced decidedly,
with occasional slight reactions, to 735Sc and
May to 704c, and the close was within sc Of
the highest point touched, or at 1871 for De-
cember and 79lIc for May The board cable
gave spot wheat in Liverpool firm at un-
changed prices and futures all ga higher ex-
cept December which was unchanged.
Corn opened for nearer deliveries shade
higher than last nights closing at 41Tc for
December and January, at 4214c for Novem-
Der and at 4534c for May, which was yester-
days closing price for that delivery. The
pit was filled and there was lively business
during the entire session. The influences at
work were a sharp demand for cash corn,
the government crop report, good export
movement and light receipts, present and
prospective. November advanced from 42l4c
TO 43c, December and January from 4lNc to
4216c and May from 45s4c to 4619c. When
the last named delivery reached ACC there
seemed at first to be unlimited quantities for
sale and not many buyers, but when that
point was passed there were few sellers and
the next l4c was easily gained. At about
this point a considerable quantity Of short
corn was severed, though the price was ad-
vanced to 46lac by the operation. There was
some reaction before the close, which was at
424d423sc for December and January and
1910 for May. November corn closed at
1870 asked The board cable quoted spot
corn firm with good demand and Id higher,
with futures all Id higher
The oats market was rather more active
to-day and prices averaged and closed 1sG4c
higher
Trading in provisions was on more re-
stricted scale than yesterday. The opening
was characterized by more than ordinary ac-
tivity, but the manifestation Of disposition
upon the part of packers to meet the wants
OF the speculative market for future property
made professional spectators more cOnser-
vative Outside orders to buy or sell were
more limited, and the days business scarcely
reached fair volume Still, while there
was a subsistence, in measure, of the bull
feeling, the future was regarded with great
confidence, and higher prices were again the
rule.
AFTERNOON BoARD-At the afternoon ses-
sion wheat, corn and oats We're somewhat
easier. Pork closed 5@719c higher than at l
o'clock and lard 914c higher. Short ribs ad-
canced &C.
